so-soThe history of hip hop, dissected by one of the greats. All the big rappers are here, as are some of the less famous but equally important. At times, I had no idea who Questlove was talking about. I guess that‘s the point. Quest tried to make this friendly for those of us who may not follow hip hop music in depth, but it is clearly hard being a genius and trying to dumb it down for us plebeians.
I had fallen a couple of days behind in my listening of this book, and listened to yesterday‘s piece today
That felt a little serendipitous. I saw Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson yesterday. Benjamin Britten is mentioned several times and when the music is shown at the end, several of his pieces had been used. Life works in mysterious ways sometimes
@WildAlaskaBibliophile usually crank the 80s and 90s country hits during road trips, and this weekend we spent Saturday in Homer. A song from this album popped up. This was an early favorite of mine; I grew up with country music from my mom and classic rock from my dad. This was one of the early country-pop crossover hits, but I think it was well-balanced. https://youtu.be/hU0nP9dcI_w

I can honestly say this is the first string quartet with didgeridoo I‘ve ever heard. And the first Sculthorpe. Not really good for “background music at work” today, what with the barking and all. 😀
Congrats to @Kerrbearlib, winner of the (Completely random & unannounced) #TuesdayTunes 500 Post Giveaway 😋
We reached 500 posts this week, so I ran a random number generator of 1 to 500. The number was 200, and the 200th post was about Kerry's favorite radio station.
Congrats Kerry! I'll send you a $25 gift card for your favorite record store or VISA gift card for an online music shop. Send me an email (akkline106@gmail.com) to connect.
Today‘s piece from Year of Wonder was both mesmerizing & haunting.

Loved the Kyrie this morning! Although I can‘t say the same for Ockeghem‘s hat. 😂 @AnnCecilie @kspenmoll
